Doomed we are all doomed...................weather is unbelievable 35 degrees in Brisbane and the wine in the Spanish restaurant was pure brilliance AND found a place to have a decent cigar without the Aussie PC Police in' 'Stralia catching me......relegation......................who the **** cares!!!

Getting totally, totally peed off with the rules and regulations of this place and looking forward to normality but will miss the sunshine!!!

Clermont got robbed. That try they scored....was a try. And at the end when they were rucking for 5 minutes past the 80' mark, a Grenoblois contested the ball from the side, for a while, didn't get the penalty.
Grenoble got lucky, end of story.

Tony have fun, you're lucky to be there, nice to see you can make it every once in a while.

Good enough game Clermont in control all the game Grenoble hacked a Clermont knock on in their own 22 (with only mins to go) and ran after it another hack and its over the line and they score 7 pts. Clermont refused a try from Laportes favourite ref Cardona, and he gives Lee a yellow absolutely outrageous this guy should have the same done to him as William Wallace he was again utter crap missing a blatant penalty in the dying mins for Clermont in front of the posts which would have given the draw.
But great result for Montpellier as long as we win this evening 5 pts would be good. Also good to see Malzieu starting and getting on the score board.

In fairness watching it on tv it was a penalty. Even if the Grenoble man wouldn't have got their he was interfered with.

anybody watching Toulon Castres ? Nice fixture, good players on the field on both sides.

 

[Big Ewis]

Montpellier score 50 points, oh boy...we're gonna hear from the ol' gaston when he returns from the tavern and from extreme Saturday night insobriety....
Toulouse finally win on the road ?....cool.

Very understated for you!! Another, maybe the last, nail in the coffin!!!

it's a big franchise...crappy to see it go down like that...oh well. Could be worse, could be Toulouse.

 

[gaston le gaff]

aaaaaaaaahhhh !! There they are !! Those exclamation marks that so very often make me wonder about your psychological health !! Well, at least you're being gaston there, comforting signs...

I can't find the game online though....very, VERY bummed because everybody (himself included) is saying how amazing Trinh-Duc looked and the whole team was beautiful to watch.
I even read a fan calling them the last bastion of 'French Flair'.

 

[gaston le gaff]

FTD had his best game of the season by miles but the whole team played as a unit in both attack and defence, 2nd half USAP were nowhere to be seen and the play was all Montpellier infront of a nearly full house. Just hope PSA was watching somewhere if he was FTD will be in the French team before the end of the 6 Nations. Rene Ranger was also a star scoring twice, and two for Alex Tulou, i interviewed RR after the match he was pretty pleased with himself and the teams performance.
All i can say now is Clermont that record could go next Sat afternoon and its Montpellier who will break it, and i will be there to see it happen.

 

[Tony Manx]

Delighted to hear about FTD....you know I have been admirer for ages!

Never any doubt about RR's attack....brilliant...just have a few misgivings about his defence under pressure?

Montypellier coming good at the right time of the season seems like to me........lucky you!!

So the delayed fixture is being played on the last day of the UK tax year!!

A very important game for both teams as a win for UBB could see them move up to 5th and for Oyonnax within touching distance of 10th with then only three matches to go.....am sure that this will be a hard fought match but will we see the UBB try and pay the attractive game they are capable of which sees them as the 5th highest point scoring team in the league.....do not let the very interesting match ups in the H Cup mean you miss this one..................unfortunately, I will as family reunions intervene!!

 

[gaston le gaff]

Oyonnax will win this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
